Stephen Ministry

What is Stephen Ministry?Pastors will always be on the front lines of care, especially during times of crisis. But there are always many more needs for ongoing, one-to-one care than pastors can effectively meet by themselves.

Stephen Ministry provides a thoroughly biblical solution - equipping God's people for ministry. Gifted laypeople receive training to support and extend the care that pastors continue to provide.

Our congregation's Stephen Ministry equips laypeople to provide one-on-one Christian care to people in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

Stephen Ministers Care for People Facing Tough TimesWe all experience challenges in life - times when we could benefit from care and support. Stephen Ministers can provide the emotional and spiritual care we need when faced with a crisis of difficulty such as: loss of a loved one, hospitalization, divorce/separation, spiritual crisis, terminal illness, incarceration, and many other life challenges.

Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry. The identity of those receiving care and everything they discuss with a Stephen minister remain private.
